My menu was high in calories yesterday. Things are not going at all well with my granddaughter and I'm beside myself with worry for the child's well-being. Right now, it's all I can do to just eat regularly and stay LC.

Started watching my calorie per pound intake in mid February to try to drop some weight for the hiking season. I'm doing a lot better at dropping inches than weigh - I guess all the training for and actually doing the hiking is adding muscle mass. Forgot to weigh this AM. Calories per pound yesterday 1922 / 174 = 11.05 (aiming for around 8 to 9.5 for weight loss). Current calorie range should be 1392 to 1653.
